I added a WWW record as CNAME to @ in the Networking panel in DigitalOcean and I am unable to access my domain with www.domain.com (it simply says “This site can’t be reached” no redirect loops"). I am able to access my domain as domain.com though.

Here is my .htaccess
#Force www: RewriteEngine on RewriteCond %{HTTP_HOST} ^playhorrorgames.com [NC] RewriteRule ^(.*)$ http://www.playhorrorgames.com/$1 [L,R=301,NC]
Strangely, using the NS command, it shows my domain pointing to default NameCheap servers; however, I am confident that I pointed correctly to the DigitalOcean name servers. The A command shows my domain pointing to my web server. (My A record is on DigitalOcean, not NameCheap)
And yes, I believe I have the domain correctly setup for my web server.
Do you need the domain?
Thank you for your help and your time!
Hi @danzamoshchin
Without have the domain, it’s a little difficult to assist, but try running these commands to make sure the DNS is correct:
And do you have
www.yourdomain.com
enabled in your web server as well asyourdomain.com
?
